‘Sino-Israel Global Network & Academic Leadership’ founder Carice Witte joins Eve for a fascinating look at current China- Israel non political initiatives. She gives an educated glimpse into the Far East from the Mid East; the cooperation, the communism, the challenges and the cultural context as two ancient civilizations both careen into the global 21st century.

In over 30 years of dealing with the foreign press in Israel, former paratrooper Danny Seaman has heard it all. In his stint as head of the Government Press Office he attempted to hold journalists to basic professional standards -and paid a price. He and Eve discuss the libels that shaped global opinion about Israel and the imperative of waging cognitive warfare. He’s now developing the English division of MIDA, a high level conservative website that publishes articles on current events, policy and thought based on facts, not fantasy. Get educated, for your own sake.

Eve is home after spending 2 weeks in the US, speaking in different cities about various aspects of life in Israel, the Jewish journey and the war of the narrative. She reflects on lessons imparted, lessons learned and her joy upon returning home in guiding a group to the communities of Binyamin in the Shomron. 70 years since Kaf Tet November and history is being twisted out of all recognition. She’s planning another trip in March, be in touch to bring her to your hometown. It won’t be boring.

While Eve was in Los Angeles she sat with Judy Gruen, prolific journalist and author, about her new book ‘The Skeptic and the Rabbi’. The book is about Judy’s path into a more observant Jewish lifestyle many years ago. The years add perspective and while the topic is serious, Judy’s writing is humorous and engaging. Anyone who is on a journey making changes in faith and practice will find something to connect to in this memoir.

Eve is in Scottsdale as a Shabbat scholar in residence and to raise awareness about Yehuda and Shomron. Jake Bennett, a former IDF combat soldier now fighting Israel’s battles on the Arizona front of public opinion, shares his thoughts on what BDS really is and his efforts with people of influence. Why are “pro-Palestinan” groups destroying co-existence? What’s with the obsession with the Jewish state? How are Israeli expats making a mark? There is no more just cause than being for Israel’s continued existence. Listen in to an erudite, educated voice of Israel advocacy whose involvement in many forums has exposed him to the sad reality that some of Israel’s most vehement detractors are other Jews.

Acclaimed Swedish film-maker Bo Persson is in Israel this month for two screenings of his intensely powerful film about terrorism and anti-Semitism ‘Watching the Moon at Night’. He speaks with Eve about being inspired by eminent historian Walter Laqueur, who appears in the film along with the late French writer and philosopher André Glucksmann and the late historian of anti-Semitism, Robert S. Wistrich. Zuhdi Jasser and other brave, moderate Muslims are also interviewed.

We have seen this “film” before; an ideology that gets out of control and imperialistic only when allowed to by ignorance- whether unintentional or due to the truth being suppressed. Neutrality is not an option and is also a myth, as Bo eloquently explains about his native country during WW2.

Archaeologist Tehilla Leiberman is a rare bird; a religiously observant young woman working for the Israel Antiquities Authority. She shares with Eve extra details of the latest exciting find – 8 more rows of the supporting Western Wall of the Second Temple and a Roman era theater-like structure. The latter was a big surprise since sources speak of a theater in Jerusalem but it hadn’t been found. And still may not have been found…

Jerusalem has many secrets yet to reveal. Nothing is mundane in our renewed capital.

Larry Bossidy is a businessman, author and retired CEO of Honeywell who spent more than 30 years rising into executive power at General Electric. He also appears on CSNBC for quarterly interviews on business topics and plays a mean game of golf. Last week, though, he and his wife were touring Israel with Eve. Devout Catholics and their very Jewish guide. It was a visit that none of them will soon forget. Chodesh Tov!

As we start the Torah cycle with the story of Creation, Eve speaks with holistic expert Devorah Harow about the healing elements in nature; especially flowers. At her Beit Roga Center in Kochav Hashachar in the Binyamin region of the Shomron she uses the energy of plants and place to transform people’s lives. We can all alleviate physical and emotional pain with what Hashem “In the Beginning” literally sowed the world with and its’ potential to help suffering – if we choose to also see, smell, taste, feel and embrace it.

The matriarchs were healers; this young woman is literally following in their footsteps in the heart of the Land. Her Accelerated Healing program, quick, freeing and life changing, can be accessed even from afar so that 5778 can be your best year yet.

The Torah’s depth and messages to mankind are ever more relevant in a Western world largely disconnected from nature, and our true selves.

Talmudic expert Professor Jeffrey Wolf of Bar Ilan University discusses with Eve some of the aspects of the holiday of Sukkoth/Tabernacles, which is also the time of the date harvest in the Land of Israel. Why do some Christians also descend on Jerusalem? What remnants of the Temple service have we incorporated into the synagogue? Experiences, faith and historical memory converge in this wonderful holiday of the booths. Chag Sameach, everyone.
